Do you collect manuals for the Cases?
Einhander:
One cool thing that is missing in the cases we make are manuals. Only issue is they can fall out easily.
Any solutions you have for that?
FritzWhite:
The UGC cases don't have a good way to hold manuals, but if you check the 'New NES cases (work in progress)'- http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=17027.msg158458;topicseen#new thread those cases will come with a manual clip. Other than that the best option for holding manuals is in plastic sleeves in a binder like this (I don't like sticking them in the NES dust sleeves because it doesn't protect them as well, it requires multiple dust sleeves for a large collection of manuals, and it looks like junk to store them like that):
If you already have UGC cases you can stick manuals in one that has the tabs cut out. For SNES, you can fit 8-12 manuals in there, depending on thickness. For NES, I used the inside sleeves from a small photo book I found at Walmart for $3. I glued the sleeve to the spine and it worked pretty well. This holder would probably be able to accommodate over a dozen manuals.

I had a similar problem; i like collecting manuals but UGCs just didn't properly hold the SNES ones. After some TCP member surveying; i decided to make a binder for the manuals. Here is the thread where I got some good ideas (maybe it'll help ya' out).

This is what my binders ended up looking like (separated according to NES and SNES/N64 of course!)
Plainsongs:
Like previous posters; I'd love to, but the UGC's aren't optimalized for it and the shipping for UGC's and all other casing options to where I live is pretty dreadful.

What dimensions are these sleeves? Is there a general dimension for manuals from these consoles?
palmer6strings:
From what it looks like to me they are just standard photo sleeves.
